HUDSON, N.H. -- A 19-year-old driver of an all-terrain vehicle suffered non life-threatening injuries when he crashed his ATV into a propane tank on Tuesday night while trying to elude police, the department said.

Jonathan Gray, of Hudson, was arrested on charges of disobeying a police officer, reckless driving and operating an unregistered motor vehicle after the crash, which occurred outside a business at 3 Christine Drive, according to a press release issued by Sgt. Michael Gosselin.

Hudson Police Officer Brian Morgan reported that he was parked on Robinson Road near Christine Drive monitoring traffic at 8:10 p.m. on Tuesday when an ATV drove past "at a high rate of speed while traveling west on Robinson Road," Gosselin wrote.

Seeking the ATV, Morgan found a male injured male lying in front of a business on Christine Drive.

Morgan reported that Gray had apparently been thrown from the crashed ATV, which was nearby.

Police determined that Gray had driven off an embankment and crashed into a propane tank. Gray was treated at Southern New Hampshire Regional Medical Center. He was later released on $2,000 bail.

He is scheduled to appear for his arraignment at the 9th Circuit Court in Nashua on May 2.
